Do you have a working product? I don't see any screen shots of what it actually looks like or what this simple 15 minute setup actually is. The idea is good in the sense that frictionless e-commerce setup is always a good idea but I ha

The reason I originally got on reddit is because I think its important to maintain a sense of what the herd is up to. I think it provides a reasonable perspective on what younger people currently care about, talk about, listen to, watch, et

I like it as a proof of concept. I don't like it as a product. In general, and with notes especially, focus is important. You are essentially doing the opposite by bombarding the writer with distractions as they write. I'm afraid

Lets put aside the cleaning argument and discuss cost for a minute here. Its recommended you brush your teeth for ~2 minutes. Lets say with this thing you shorten it to 30 seconds. That means you save 3 minutes per day every day on brushing

I think the thing that makes the Seneca/HN approach so effective is that it can be applied to the minutia. No one wants to look bad in front of their mentor, no matter how trivial the act is. When you're on your deathbed most indi

Absolutely yes to "Pass the Hacker News test". Seneca's letter Epistle XI is one of my favorites and teaches this exact lesson. It closes with "Cherish some man of high character, and keep him ever before your eyes, livi

Google hit a billion unique per month in May of 2011 and they've spent $21 billion in the last 7 years. Assuming no growth (which is absolutely not the case) they've spent an average of $3 per user per year.

I actually agree with you that it was deliberate to some extent which is why I used the wording "too strong a negative connotation". I think anytime you are accusing someone of being less than entirely honest, which is the definit

You do realize that when you look up the synonyms to misleading you get many of the same results, right? I'm sorry that you feel the word disingenuous has too strong a negative connotation but I won't curb my speech because of you

http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ As far as tech, you're covering a lot of different topics. My knee jerk reaction would be add more of the competitors (i.e. foundation since you have bootstrap) but there's value

The title and the pitch on the actual site are kind of disingenuous. This is a collection of resources to learn web development. Its hardly a cheat sheet or "everything you need to know". A cheat sheet would be a succinct set of s

I don't want to by accusatory but could it have something to do with your interviewing ability? I've interviewed a pretty extensive amount and EVERY interview I've ever had has been a conversation. In fact, I'd feel I fa

I don't believe you are. It's unfortunate because there needs to be more innovation/competition in the space.

I'd prefer the FDA just make sure that information printed on food be based on facts. I think its reasonable to expect a regulatory body to enforce a certain level of honesty and accountability within its domain.

I hadn't realized how little regulation there was around packaging dates. I never cared much for following the dates anyway but I'm still surprised to hear how meaningless they actually are. Just another case of the FDA being an i

Ever since coming across Aubrey De Grey I've been waiting for a more mainstream adoption of his ideas. I can only hope you're right and that this announcement will incite real change in the public's opinion on age.

I would assume the issue is that most Information System degrees are unaccredited. There are only 36 IS programs accredited in the US.

I think the take away here is that although competitors may push a faster pace, they can fizzle out faster too. This is basically the startup version of the tortoise and the hare. I appreciate the reminder that slow and steady is ok even th

I love the simplicity of the idea. Good luck with it! I'd prefer it just sent me an email with all the links i've accumulated every week or two. I don't know exactly when I'll have time to read stuff but I could see myse

I absolutely agree that going for an architect role is the solution to this problem. The key to becoming a successful generalist is to learn how to bring technologies together. If you can paint the picture of how integrate different systems

Speaking from an enterprise perspective I'd say the reason most companies do not hire generalists is because the corporate structure is not well equipped to handle such resources. Very few companies grok the concept of internal consult

If there is one skill you should focus on above all else its refactoring. With that in mind, just start and expect to rewrite as you learn. As for specific tools, I too only recently picked up a mac and while it was a bit painful at the sta

The relationships seem a bit off... For instance, Burton Baton is a relatively unique beer yet it has a surprising amount of recommendations associated with it while many other beers have few or none. Also, how were the beers picked out? It

Thank you. I think hiding the toolbar with a small "show navbar" button will be far more appropriate for us moving forward. We knew it could be a bit of distracting but after the feedback we've gotten its clearly something to be fixed.
